I have more belief in our people. The only problem I see is we let our guard down for too long and lost the faith. We have the tools to correct any wrong without destroying the nation. The best tool is the independent, liberty loving American who follows the republican ideal of service to ones country, in any way possible.

When godly people become apart of the process of their govenment that government will become godly. Religion has not gone out of the govenment, it has gone out of the people it serves. History shows that this country, its people, has had a up and down relation with religion since before its founding. Several great revivals have occured over the centuries in America and usually after a great calamity of some sort.

If we work hard now to show our children the way this experiment in liberty can continue, it is a never ending process of protecting ourselves (Americans) through the ideals of union, compromise, education and faith in religion. The loss or degrading of any one of these ideals will cause anger and distrust (as we are seeing today) amougst the political landscape in America.
